I've had one plakat girl. All the rest of my bettas are VT - except for 4/6 females, who are known combtails and have gone through a half inch growth spurt x.x maybe the other 2 with be combtail too =D I've never seen a plakat boy here o.o you sure are lucky

Yup, he is indeed a cambodian. And you mentioned that his tail-fin (caudal, yes?) is looked more spade-like... not sure if this answers your thoughts or not but he's a regular PK. :P He's just developing more.

Wow such beautiful colors.... I'm not sure but isnt 2 rays a VT? Maybe hes a VT PK? If thats even possible.. I'm still learning this stuff my self.. I'm sure someone else more expirenced could tell you though :) But still he is extreamly beautiful!

o.o I'm not even sure of VT rays o_O lol I have all VT males, but each tail to itself is different as they are just "plain ol' pet store bettas". Shadow has small single rays, actually so does Ghengis and Juniper. o_O

I read though that cambodians have to have one solid color. Like pale body and solid red fins. He does have the gene though. I think hes more marblish seeing his colors change every few days. He almost purple now.

I've heard that some breeders use pks to strengthen rays on other fin types...who knows
